Facilities Managers and epx – Driving Building Optimisation Through Insights

Empowering Facilities Managers with Smarter Energy Insights

Managing energy use and building operations is becoming more complex for Facilities Managers (FMs). Epx understands these challenges and offers a solution that goes beyond traditional software. Our EDGE platform combines advanced analytics with expert engineering support to help FMs reduce costs, cut carbon emissions, and improve building performance.

We’re not just adding another dashboard—we’re delivering a complete, people-powered solution.

More Than Software: Real Support, Real Results

Many platforms leave FMs to interpret raw data on their own. EDGE is different. It turns complex data into clear, actionable recommendations. Our engineering team works closely with FMs to ensure insights are understood and acted on quickly.

This hands-on approach helps improve energy efficiency, boost occupant comfort, and extend asset life.

Examples like Solna United in Sweden and 2 Redman Place in London show how data and engineering together drive real impact.

Smarter HVAC Management for Big Savings

HVAC systems are major energy users in commercial buildings. When misconfigured, they waste energy and reduce comfort. EDGE provides real-time insights into HVAC performance, spotting issues like:

  • Air handling units running during off-hours

  • Setpoints causing overcooling or overheating

At Solna United, we identified misaligned air supply and temperature controls. After adjustments, the building saved 127 MWh and over €100,000 in the first year—while improving winter comfort for tenants.

Intelligent Scheduling Based on Real Usage

Lights, ventilation, and equipment often run when buildings are empty. EDGE analyzes occupancy and energy patterns to help FMs align schedules with actual usage.

At 2 Redman Place, we resolved scheduling conflicts and control logic issues. By optimizing thermal wheel operations and CO₂ levels, we cut energy use by 12%, saved £108,000, and avoided 162 tonnes of CO₂ emissions.

Fixing Heating and Cooling Conflicts

Simultaneous heating and cooling is a common problem caused by poor HVAC integration or conflicting setpoints. EDGE detects these issues and helps our engineers fix them—eliminating waste and improving system efficiency.

Smarter Lighting Control

Lighting waste is still widespread. EDGE monitors lighting energy use and highlights opportunities like:

  • Daylight harvesting

  • Occupancy sensors

These changes help FMs lower electricity costs and support sustainability goals.

Proactive Maintenance That Saves Money

Faulty equipment can drain energy unnoticed. Traditional systems may miss these issues, but EDGE tracks performance trends and flags problems early.

At 2 Redman Place, EDGE detected HVAC inefficiencies before they became costly. Early action kept systems running smoothly and maintained energy savings.

Accurate Sensors = Efficient Systems

Sensors that drift out of calibration can cause major inefficiencies. EDGE monitors sensor data for anomalies and guides FMs to recalibrate or replace faulty units. Accurate readings ensure systems respond correctly and energy isn’t wasted.

Why EDGE Works for Facilities Managers

EDGE isn’t just a data tool—it’s a full-service solution. With expert engineering support, FMs get clear, actionable advice without needing deep technical skills.

We help FMs:

  • Cut energy use

  • Lower operational costs

  • Extend asset lifespan

  • Improve sustainability

Our work with Solna United and 2 Redman Place proves that combining smart data with expert support delivers measurable results.
